A studio service
Three generations, illustrated in one keepsake book.
Preserve your family's living history before the stories fade. An illustrated hardcover picture book starring grandparents, parents, children, and pets — drawn faithfully from your family photographs. Designed for milestone anniversaries, retirement tributes, and family heirlooms.
Their stories. Their faces. Kept for their grandchildren.
N° 01Preserving living memories
Stories that belong to your family alone.
Every family has stories that get retold at dinner tables: how grandparents met, the journey to a new country, the quirks of a beloved summer cabin, or the daily warmth shared between grandparents and grandchildren.
A photo album shows what people looked like. An illustrated storybook captures what those moments felt like — translating spoken memories into richly illustrated scenes where the family recognizes their real expressions, clothing style, and habits.
We draw from 3–5 reference photos per family member. We establish character sheets for every generation — from Meemaw's spectacles and warm smile to the children's laughter — ensuring absolute continuity on every spread.
01
Character sheets across generations
Grandparents, parents, and children drawn with genuine warmth, capturing smiles, posture, and signature mannerisms.
02
Real family settings & homes
Front porches, childhood dining rooms, backyard gardens, and holiday landscapes illustrated from your photographs.
03
Confidential and private
Family legacy commissions remain 100% private. We never publish your family's personal artwork without explicit written permission.
N° 02Heirloom craftsmanship
Archival casebound print, passed down through generations.
An heirloom book must survive decades of little fingers turning pages. We print on heavyweight 80# coated paper with reinforced library-grade casebound binding.
Available with custom foil-stamped titles, dedicated family lineage pages, and full-bleed double-page panoramic spreads.
01
Heavyweight archival paper
Acid-free paper stock that resists yellowing and preserves vibrant pigment hues over decades.
02
Dedication and family tree spreads
Opening and closing endpapers customized with family trees, vintage photographs, or handwritten dedications.
03
Multiple copies for the family
Press-ready files, so grandparents and each child can have their own copy printed.

N° 04Questions
The answers we give most often.
- Can grandparents, parents, and children all appear together?
- Yes, that is the primary purpose of this line. We build individual character model sheets for up to 5 family members across three generations so every person is recognisable and consistent across all spreads.
- What kind of stories work best for this?
- Grandparent memories, how the family came to settle in a city, summer traditions at the lake, golden wedding anniversaries, adoption stories, or simply a day in the life of three generations together.
- Do we need a completed manuscript to start?
- No. You can send bullet points, recorded voice memories, or old family letters. We help shape your recollections into a cohesive narrative sequence suitable for a keepsake picture book.
- How many copies can we print?
- As many as you like. Every package includes press-ready files and a printer recommendation, and the files are yours to reprint at any time.
- How long does the project take?
- Typically 5 to 7 weeks from briefing to final press-ready files. We advise contacting us 8 weeks ahead if preparing for a specific anniversary date.
